Mahrez maintained his superb recent form on Sunday, claiming a brace of goals to help City secure a dominant 4-0 FA Cup third round win over Chelsea.
It was our second success over Graham Potter’s side in three days with Mahrez also netting the winner in last Thursday’s 1-0 Premier League triumph at Stamford Bridge when the Algerian came off the bench to secure a precious three points for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Mahrez has been at his mesmeric, creative best since the resumption of action following the World Cup and also found the target in last month’s 3-2 Carabao Cup win over Liverpool which was City’s first competitive game following the Qatar showpiece.

“I didn’t go to the World Cup, I trained for a bit in Abu Dhabi, and we came back here and trained more,” Mahrez reflected.
